tain driver whose horse I took every
time l was in New York FOR two or three
seasons. Tho man was n bad driver;
that is to say, n hard driver. He took
great chances with his horse, and ulti-
matcly he knocked his animal all %

went out Of the Everett house and
raised my voice to call n cab. At this

in the line of cabs at some distance from

me to glance and look at him. ] then

THE LAND OF THE TOMORROW.

The faithful heart through time and tears
Still keeps its course nor dreams OF vccring;
The heaviest pillows OF tho years
But mark the haven that is nearing;
The waves may dash aud tlundcrs crash,
Vet from them twill moro Grmncss borrow,
The peal and roar but point tho shore
OF tnat blcSt Land oc the Tomorrow.
Then when The toilsomc journeys done,
And Death has crowned his faiths ,rlcavor
lie rests Within the Ea,"u won,
Where Peace her scurtoc ways forever;
No nor" the years with strife aul tears
To him can bring n thoUgI.t of sorrow,
For Cr:ci'S sad face commands no place

GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT.
The California and Oregon Road Com,
pleted After Many DeIays

The California and Oregon Road Com.
PIeted After Many Delays,
ASHLAND, Oregon, December 1.-THE
California and Oregon Railroad @ was com.
pleted to-day. This event represents
twenty.one years Of railway construction
almost steadily pushed through the pro-
ject of surmounting the mountain ranges
Of Northern California and Southern Ore
gon. The accomplishment undoubtedly,
is regarded by commercial circles of the
Pacific coast as the most important In its
significance since the completion OF the
first overland railway system in May, 1867
1t affords for the first time all rail COM
municstion between the cities Of the Pa
cific coast and places under the control of
one railway corporation, an unbroken line
from New Orleans to Portland, Ore, dis
stance OF 5000 miles. Its proprietors con-
tend for the system from the strategic
land point, that the completion of the
Northern link is of vital importance to the
National government as defence measure
in case of war and the rapid concentration
of troops.
Special trains from San Francisco aud
Portland brought large numbers of promi-
Dent gentlemen to witness the driving OF
the last spike. Ths party from Oregon in
GUIDED the Governor and other State
officers. There were large crowds at all
points to greet the California train, and
gTe;t enthusiasm was manifest. Leaving
Reddiug for the North the heavy train
was drawn up the steep approaches OF the
mountains by three powerful engines,
reaching Sissoh at O'Clock in the morn
ing, 1000 feet above the sea level at the
base of Mt Shasta, which rises 10, 400 feet
above Sisson.
The train wound around the great butte,
descending into the Shasta Valley. At this
point the stupendous character OF the en-
cheering difficulties in comprising the
Shasta range began to be revealed. Ascend
ing Klamath range. the railway forms
loops, the track itself rising ia the tiers
the road at one point traversing eighteen
miles in accomplishing an airline of one
third that distance.
In the forenoon the Siskyou tunnel was
reeched. This pierces the mountain for
$500 feet, and soon after leaving it the
Companion tunnel, l, 400 feet in length,
was entered. This last tunnel delayed the
construction of the road two years. AT
4 :45 o'clock the train reached Ashland,
where the ceremony of driving the last
spike was observed.
Mr.. Croker struck the blows which
completed the road and simultaneously
fred cannon in Portland and San Francis.
co. The President of the day, Hon. II.
Davis, representative of the municipality
and the chamber of commerce, OF San
Francisco, spoke briefly. After prayer by
Rev. f. 6. Strong, Governor Pennoyer, of
Oregon, spoke.
The Governor said the people OF Oregon
and California joined in congratuistion:
upon this auspiclous occasion making 9
new era in the history of the two conjoined
States. Joseph l. Lefins, Of Sacramento
spoke in behalf of California in the absence
of Governor Waterman.

THE ISSUE.

President Cleveland is everywhere COM
plimented on account of his mastery mes
sage. Says the Alta California: "rhe
message is stirring appeal to American
manhood and not to political partisanship.
II is plea for that personal unselfishness
which looks beyond the personal pocket to
the general welfare. 1t is an argument for
the return of the government to its proper
functions and the recall OF its invading in
6uence from the control of those fields Of
private enterprise wherein the individual
should find his energies unfettered." The
Chicago Tribune announces that the policy
recommended by the President is the de-
msnd embodied in the platform of the last
Republican National Convention held at
Chicago in 1884. The platforms of various
Republican State Conventions are quoted
by the Tribune to show that large ele-
ment Of the Republican party is in close
alliance with Mr.. Clevelsnd's declarations.
Men of thought and study, of broad COM
prehension politlcians-spe2k Of the
message in term of the highest commen-
dstion. Says President McCosh, of Prince
Ton G ,llete: "Ths message is by far the
a0.est document of its kind that has been
sent to Congress within many years, and
at once stamps Mr.. Cleveland as a states
man. He realizes fully the paramount
necessity for stopping the continual piling
up of the surplus, and has taken the most
heroic means at his command to
bring about this end. His message,
as 1 read it, deals more with the
immediate necessity for action upon the
question presented than with the details of
the methods to be pursued in reducing
taxation. He recognizes the fact that to.
day the workiD gmen of the land are bear
ing q burden which is far heavier than
they should be asked to carry, and it is
with a view of relieving them with the
least delay that he makes the recommend
atoms embodied in his message" 1t would
be an easy matter to fill columns with
similar expressions of approval coming
from Republicans as we'll as Democrats,
indorsing the message of President Cleve-
land. The President makes square issue.
There is no sophistry, no duplicity,
no jugglery, no partisan legerdemain,
none OF the tricks of the demogogue.
There is neither hedging nor lodging, it
is cutting clear from doubts and misgiv-
ings; startling truths are stated, remedy
Is clearly pointed out and demanded.
What is the issue? Simply this: Reduce
iaxarion on the necessities Of life to the
extent that not a dollar shall be taken from
the people that the government does not
reed. 1T is this issue that commands almost
universal approval; it is an issue with
which to 90 before the people and win a
victory. and the more it is discussed, the
more emphatic will be the approval of the
people.
